Western Railway recently decided to spice things up by introducing a co-working space at Mumbai Central station, making it the first of its kind by the Indian Railways. This move is a game-changer as previous co-working spaces at railway stations in Navi Mumbai were housed in buildings managed by local development bodies like CIDCO. It’s a bold step for the railways to open up their own space for such a purpose.
The idea behind this innovation is to transform railway stations into bustling city centers. By setting up a digital lounge at Mumbai Central station, Western Railway aims to showcase their commitment to digital India while providing top-notch amenities for professionals on the go. The plan is to develop the lounge, spanning approximately 1500 sq ft, with a range of facilities including event spaces, meeting rooms, high-speed internet, charging points, comfortable seating, printing services, and even tea/coffee machines. It’s a one-stop shop for all your working needs!
Excitingly, the lounge will be located in the main hall of the concourse area, making it easily accessible to commuters passing through the station. The goal is to have the space up and running for public use within the next two to three months. Operators will offer services on an hourly basis, ensuring that commuters can enjoy the facilities at a reasonable cost. It’s a win-win situation for everyone involved.
So, the next time you find yourself with some extra time before your next meeting or train, skip the search for a cafe and head straight to the railway station. The future of workspaces is here, and it’s coming to Mumbai Central station sooner than you think. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development!
